Murder She Rote

Murder She Rote
by Alicia Millar

sit still
heads up
heads down
only smile
don't frown

don't laugh
don't play
don't be funny
not today

don't draw
don't sigh
cross your "t's"
and dot your "i's"

two plus two
is always four
get it right
or there's the door

you will learn
to love to learn
I'll fill your head
my little urn

and in your
rank, and file and style
I'll find some peace
just for a while
